Brakes

The majority of cars on the market today use hydraulic braking systems. While there are some design differences, the basic operating principles are the same:

For example, the most common configuration in cars are disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. With disc brakes, hydraulic fluid operates a caliper, which presses the brake pad against the brake disc (rotor), slowing your vehicle. In drum brakes, fluid pressure through the cylinder presses the brake shoes against the inside wall of the brake drum. In either case, it’s the hydraulic pressure and friction that causes your vehicle to stop.
